Observations

LinkedIn as a source for employee profile data.

Variation of constraints across countries/regions

‘Containerisation’ of applications and data on personal devices.

Facebook and LinkedIn used for communicating and promoting brand, externally.

Support for purchase of personal mobile devices.

Insights

Clear line between personal and work.

Work presence on personal devices (office, move, and home); not vice versa!

Social media is understood, and governed (by policy).

Cloud services are tackled reactively and ad hoc.

Risk, rather than opportunity, drives policy.

So, what next?

Revisit what mobile means in the context of device policies.

Check policies and consider personal accounts.

Consider edge cases.

Explore use of ‘third party service’ accounts for work.
